((This is the start for the upcomming excavation For now, all those participating please post your characters ame, relevant skills, and what they hope to gain frm the project. Once we are satisfied we have all participants, we can jump into the rp and move on to briefing))
Garrett sat at his desk, making the final touches on the sign up sheet. Things were going well enough. He had found work as an instructor at Vylbrand Academy, as professor of archaeology, and was teaching classes. Just a few nights ago, the review class concluded, and with it, the introductory portion of his archaeology class. It was time for the students to get their hands dirty, literally and figuratively.
It was all coming together nicely so far. Someone at the very academy Garrett teaches at offeed to sponsor the excavation, imposing certain impediments upon Garrett and his would-be dig team, of course, but she seemed trustworthy enough, and had something of an interest and respect for the discipline.
A structure that supposedly dated back to the great flood. The sixth umbral era. 1500 years ago. It was well-hidden. Garrett had scouted the area on his own after speaking with the sponsor, miss Akane. Her guards reported to him that not a soul had stirred in the area since they'd been posted. Excellent. Just the way it should be. He only hoped it would last. The dig site was very close to Garlean territory, so there was also that to watch out for.
With a final swich of the quill, and a nod, the sheet was finished. Garrett stood up, walked over to the bulliten, and posted the signups.
         SIGNUP SHEET - CLASS EXCAVATION
Sponsor - Miss Lilith Akane
Overseer - Professor Garrett Gray
Faculty and students of Vylbrand academy, guests, sponsors, and hirelings,
Thank you for your interest in uncovering and preserving the past of Eorzea, and Hydaelyn itself. Those who have either completed 2/3 of the introductory classes, or attended the review class are all eligible to take part in the upcomming excavation. Others who wish to attend will be dealt with on a case by case basis. It is my hope that this experience be enlightening and exciting to you all, and open you up to an entirely new world. The world of the past.
You will soon find out that archaeology is not "X marks the spot", and the process is uncomfortable, exhausting, and dangerous. This is not a controlled class project. This is an actual excavation, and should be approached with the utmost care and respect. We will be bound by certain contractual impediments and obligations by our sponsor. This is a normal part of the process, and will also serve to give you a glimpse into the world of archaeology. Together we will face the elements, insects, wild animals, and possible hostiles. However, to those who posess a drive to succeed, and a thirst for knowledge, it will be worth it.Â
Below, you may sign your name, which will confirm you as a member of the dig team. Please list any relevant skills and what you hope to get from this experience as well.
Thank you again, and good luck out there.
